Nerdfighteria helped me find the love of my life, and that's something that will forever connect me to the community. I became a Nerdfighter man years ago when I got involved in the YouTube scene. I love the vlogbrother videos, they are amazing. After awhile I decided to start vlogging on my own, I was less than successful. Haha. Around that time I started browsing the Ning and YourPants. I noted a Ning post about a collab looking for members, I applied. I did not get the spot.
But the story doesn't end there. I continued to watch this collab, even after being rejected. They were popular, or anything special, but I really enjoyed watching them. The group fit nicely together. Then one member, Josh, posted a video about his favorite place. This place happens to be the town in which my college is located. I, naturally, also love this place. So I left a quick, and awkward, comment on the video.
He tells me later that he only responded in the way he did because he thought I was cute. But it brought us together, didn't it? Well the point is, he commented back and then proceeded to follow me on Twitter. A month or so later, he @ replied me on Twitter, and a conversation began. We tweeted back and forth constantly for a few months before we exchanged numbers. Then we texted constantly. Eventually, we admitted our feelings for one another, and a bit after that, we got together.
Since then, we have met in person. He doesn't live too far from where I live in college, so we spend quite a bit of time together. I love him. I have never met a guy more perfect for me than him. He understands my nerdiness, and everything that comes with it. And he's a Nerdfighter! What's not to love?
So yeah, that's one of my many Nerdfighter stories. Probably my favorite. Nerdfighteria brought us together, and it will always keep us together as well. <3 (Sorry for the cheese, it needed to be done. Haha.)
